People here are very flexible in regards of driving on the slow lane. If it's crowded with lorries, you just keep it on the fast lane for 400 kilometers and make use of your high beam accordingly. Or just fall asleep for 10 seconds, that's more than enough for such accident to happen.

Been following that but a bit puzzled as to why when he tried to put the car into N it just kept going. "I am trying. It is not stopping at neutral". Confused
